Testimonials

"We needed to put together a video that celebrated our 50 years in the beverage business but also talked about our future direction as a company. We presented Chris with a ton of photos, thoughts, objectives and multiple uses we wanted to accomplish with this video. What was so amazing to us was how Chris was able to take our disjointed thoughts and pull them together into a coherent message delivered in an impactful and powerful video. He was so professional in how he conducted interviews and handled all aspects of the production process and delivered the final product on time. He has a real talent and is truly gifted in his work.I would recommend Chris without any qualification for any project you would consider to undertake. You will enjoy watching his genius at work."

"Chris is a true professional – his work is first-rate. The overarching theme was to illustrate the mark one single person can make in his or her life, and the results Chris and his team produced were extraordinary. The film captured every aspect of Jay’s multi-faceted life and character. The emotional power was remarkable and permeated all elements of the film, including the poignant quotes the producers were able to elicit from all of the interviewees; the beautiful and seamless blending of all available archival materials, whether those were still photos, decades old home movies, or television footage of Jay in his role as an MSNBC on-air legal commentator; and the astute pairing of different genres of music with those images. Both EIF’s NCCRA and The Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health were thrilled with the final product, and have found the film to be a valuable asset in our outreach and fundraising efforts."

“In the fall of 2007, I worked with Chris Monahan on a documentary-style promotional video for Common Cents. Our goal was to create a short film that would both educate viewers about our program, as well as appeal to them emotionally. Chris was my main point of contact on this project, and I was very impressed with his professionalism, as well as his ability to keep the project on track and solve problems as they arose. He was able to provide creative solutions and new ideas that kept the project moving on time and within our budget. It was a pleasure to work with Chris, and the end result was exactly what we needed.”

“Chris created a 30 minute documentary of Winona Camps on the occasion of our 100th Anniversary in 2007. The end result was well-received and has been distributed world-wide. From the first contact with us to the finished product, Chris was always professional and easy to work with in all phases: outline, audio, taping and editing. His attention to detail was first-rate regarding every element of the film. Right up front, there was an instant click and connection. He understood what Winona was about. People tell us that our film has heart and soul. That’s because there is an art to the interview process. Chris is quickly able to get people to go deep inside to places they wouldn’t normally go. This is what gives the film depth. Some, like Chris, can do it. Many can’t.”
